3 – Approval of Minutes
– May 10, 2011
Member Corriveau moved to approve the minutes of the regular Neighborhood and
Affordable Housing Advisory Board meeting of May 10, 2011, as recorded and submitted in
written summation to each board member. The motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.
4 – FY (Fiscal Year) 2011/12 Consolidated Action Plan and FY 2010-15 Five-Year
Consolidated Action Plan
Housing Manager Michael Holmes reviewed the summary for the draft one-year and
five-year consolidated action plans. The plans will be expanded. Economic Development &
Housing Assistant Director Jim Donnelly said staff will clarify the dates for the five-year plan.
The plan is focused on resident input from staff outreach and survey efforts. Economic
Development & Housing Director Geri Campos Lopez encouraged board members to
brainstorm ideas for program enhancements. She reviewed program accomplishments in the
East Gateway and scholarships offered to low income Brownfield area residents.
In response to a question, Ms. Lopez said as a result of reduced funding, the City will
need to partner with organizations to leverage its available dollars. The number of units and
people that can be served will decrease. CHIP (Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project) was
closed after State funding was cancelled. Day services have been terminated; the soup kitchen
remains open. HUD (Housing & Urban Development) Department supports permanent housing,
not emergency beds. Boley and HEP (Homeless Emergency Project) are working to address
veterans’ special needs.

Member Brasswell moved to recommend approval of the FY 2010-15 Five-Year
Consolidated Action Plan. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
In response to a question, Mr. Holmes said funding in the one-year plan has been
approved. Ms. Lopez said the plan reflects a 17% reduction in CDBG (Community
Development Block Grant) funds and 12% reduction in HUD funding.
Member Griffiths moved to recommend approval of the FY 2011/12 Consolidated Action
Plan. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Plan related statistics will be posted to the web. Board members were encouraged to
forward questions during the public comment period which extends to July 17, 2011.
